New Obama Executive Order Seizes U.S. Infrastructure and
Citizens for Military Preparedness

In a stunning move, on March 16, 2012, Barack Obama signed an
Executive
Order stating that the President and his specifically
designated Secretaries now have the authority to commandeer all
domestic U.S. resources including food and water. The EO also
states that the President and his Secretaries have the authority
to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure inside
the United States as well as forcibly induct/draft American
citizens into the military. The EO also contains a vague
reference in regards to harnessing American citizens to fulfill
“labor requirements” for the purposes of national defense.

Not only that, but the authority claimed inside the EO does not
only apply to National Emergencies and times of war. It also
applies in peacetime.

The National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order
exploits the “authority” granted to the President in the Defense
Production Act of 1950 in order to assert that virtually every
means of human survival is now available for confiscation and
control by the President via his and his Secretaries’ whim.

The unconstitutionality of the overwhelming majority of
Executive Orders is well established, as well as the illegality
of denying citizens their basic Constitutional and human rights,
even in the event of a legitimate national emergency. Likewise,
it should also be pointed out that, like Obama’s recent Libyan
adventure and the foregone conclusion of a Syrian intervention,
there is no mention of Congress beyond a minor role of keeping
the allegedly co-equal branch of government informed on
contextually meaningless developments.

As was mentioned above, the scope of the EO is virtually
all-encompassing. For instance, in “Section 201 – Priorities and
Allocations Authorities,” the EO explains that the authority for
the actions described in the opening paragraph rests with the
President but is now delegated to the various Secretaries of the
U.S. Federal Government. The list of delegations and the
responsibility of the Secretaries as provided in this section
are as follows:

(3) the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to
health resources;

(4) the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of
civil transportation;

(5) the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources;
and

(6) the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other
materials, services, and facilities, including construction
materials.

One need only to read the “Definitions” section of the EO in
order to clearly see that terms such as “food resources” is an
umbrella that includes literally every form of food and
food-related product that could in any way be beneficial to
human survival.

That being said, “Section 601 – Secretary of Labor” delegates
special responsibilities to the Secretary of Labor as it
involves not just materials citizens will need for survival, but
the actual citizens themselves.

Obviously, the ability of the U.S. government to induct and
draft citizens into the military against their will is, although
a clear violation of their rights, not an issue considered
shocking by its nature of having been invoked so many times in
the past. Logically, this “authority” is provided for in this
section.

However, what may be shocking is the fact that Section 601 also
provides for the mobilization of “labor” for purposes of the
national defense. Although some subsections read that
evaluations are to be made regarding the “effect and demand of
labor utilization,” the implication is that “labor” (meaning
American workers) will be considered yet one more resource to be
seized for the purposes of “national defense.” The EO reads,
Sec. 601. Secretary of Labor. (a) The Secretary of Labor, in
coordination with the Secretary of Defense and the heads of
other agencies, as deemed appropriate by the Secretary of Labor,
shall:

(1) collect and maintain data necessary to make a continuing
appraisal of the Nation's workforce needs for purposes of
national defense;

(2) upon request by the Director of Selective Service, and in
coordination with the Secretary of Defense, assist the Director
of Selective Service in development of policies regulating the
induction and deferment of persons for duty in the armed
services;

(3) upon request from the head of an agency with authority under
this order, consult with that agency with respect to: (i) the
effect of contemplated actions on labor demand and utilization;
(ii) the relation of labor demand to materials and facilities
requirements; and (iii) such other matters as will assist in
making the exercise of priority and allocations functions
consistent with effective utilization and distribution of labor;

Notice that the language of the EO does not state “in the event
of a national emergency.” Instead, we are given the term
“purposes of national defense.” This is because the
“authorities” assumed by the President have been assumed not
just for arbitrary declarations of “national emergency” but for
peacetime as well. Indeed, the EO states this much directly when
it says,

The head of each agency engaged in procurement for the national
defense is delegated the authority of the President under
section 107(b)(1) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2077(b)(1), to take
appropriate action to ensure that critical components, critical
technology items, essential materials, and industrial resources
are available from reliable sources when needed to meet defense
requirements during peacetime, graduated mobilization, and
national emergency.

Presidential Executive Orders have long been used illegally by
Presidents of every political shade and have often been used
destroy the rights of American citizens. Although history has
often come to judge these orders as both immoral and
unconstitutional, the fact is that the victims of the orders
suffered no less because of the retroactive judgment of their
progeny. It is for this reason that we must immediately condemn
and resist such obvious usurpation as is currently being
attempted by the U.S. government.

Nevertheless, some have no doubt begun to wonder why the
President has signed such an order. Not only that, but why did
he sign the order now? Is it because of the looming war with
Iran or the Third World War that will likely result from such a
conflict? Is it because of the ticking time bomb called the
economy that is only one jittery move or trade deal away from
total disintegration? Is it because of a growing sense of hatred
of their government amongst the general public? Is there a
coming natural disaster of which we are unaware? Are there plans
for martial law?
Whatever the reason for the recent announcement of Obama’s new
Executive Order, there is one thing we do know for sure - “It
wouldn’t happen here” has been the swan song of almost every
victim of democide in modern human history.
